Schools, youth clubs, holiday centres & birthdays

Learning, screen-free, together.

Two hours in which thirty children don't ask for a tablet. Our hosts arrive with the bricks, the plans and the energy — you prepare nothing.

From age five. Our hosts adapt the format to the age and size of your group.

What they get out of it

The one moment in the day when nobody asks for a screen.

That is what teachers and centre managers tell us. A hands-on, collective activity where the result grows under your fingers holds thirty children without anyone raising their voice, and it works four skills at once.

  • Fine motor skills

    Grip, orient, click together, correct. The hand learns precision and the wrist learns patience, without anyone calling it an exercise.

  • Concentration

    A screen-free alternative that holds thirty children for two hours. Attention builds because the result is visible and immediate.

  • Cooperation

    A collective piece is only finished if people talk, share parts and accept that their neighbour's section matters as much as their own.

  • Spatial thinking

    Volumes, symmetry, plans, scale. Geometry becomes concrete long before it becomes a chapter in the syllabus.

Find the right workshop

Two questions, and we'll point you.

A summer fair, a year-long school project and a Wednesday at a holiday club don't call for the same workshop.

What is your goal?

Our workshops

Four formats, depending on your project.

A school fair, a year-long class project, a holiday-club day or a birthday: neither the duration nor the hosting style is the same.

Giant mosaic built by children
Collective piece

The giant mosaic

Each child assembles a small panel without knowing what it shows. Together they form the school crest, a nature scene or a character. At the moment of assembly, every child looks for their own panel in the picture — and points it out to their parents that evening.

Free imagination

Free building

Thousands of bricks, no instructions, and worlds appear. The timeless holiday-club classic: every child finds their own level and nobody is ever left behind.

Themed brick building workshop on history
Learning differently

Themed workshops

History, the solar system, architecture, the sustainable city. We tie the building to a specific theme, and the workshop becomes teaching material the class can pick up again afterwards.

Collaborative model built by a class
The big project

The collaborative model

A castle, a future city, the neighbourhood around the school. Pupils divide the roles, negotiate, coordinate — and discover that the hard part isn't building, it's agreeing.

Our hosts always adapt the format to the age of the participants and the setting, for an activity that stays safe, inclusive and holds up to the last minute.

Which settings

Where we work.

Every setting has its constraints — duration, group size, budget, supervision ratios. We know them, and the format bends to fit.

Schools

One-off session, a series, or a year-long project. Funded through the school fund, the parents' association or the local council.

Youth clubs

Regular workshops or one-off events, suited to mixed age groups and community-sector budgets.

Holiday centres

Half-day or full-day formats in rotating groups, planned around the school-holiday calendar.

Campsites & holiday clubs

The activity that rescues a rainy afternoon: indoors, no heavy set-up, and a group size you only learn at the last minute.

Birthdays

At home or in a hall, for a group of children. Fixed price, fixed duration, and a host who handles everything from start to finish.

What teachers and centre managers ask us.

From what age?

Five for most of our formats. Below that we use larger bricks and shorten the session. Our hosts adjust the difficulty as they go, according to the group in front of them.

How are the bricks cleaned?

Every stock is washed and dried in the workshop between bookings, and we run an intermediate cleaning on multi-day activities.

How many children can you supervise?

One host for about thirty children on a standard workshop, and more staff beyond that. Your own team stays present as regulations require, but does not have to run the activity: we do that.

What do you need on site?

Tables, chairs and a well-lit room. We bring everything else, including protective covers. For a mosaic we also need a wall or support for the final assembly.

What does it cost, and who funds it?

Our rates are provided on request, within 24 to 48 working hours. The usual funding routes are the school fund, the parents' association, the local council budget or the holiday centre's own budget. We provide a formal quote for your paperwork.

Are you insured?

Yes. We hold professional public liability cover and supply the certificate with the quote, along with our company registration number. It is a prerequisite for any work in a public setting.

Does the finished piece stay with us?

For a mosaic or a collaborative model, yes — that is rather the point. It hangs in the hall or the covered play area and recalls the project all year. For free building, the bricks leave with us.

Do you run after-school sessions?

Yes, and the short ninety-minute format is designed for it. We regularly run multi-session cycles with after-school coordinators.

Let's talk

Tell us about your children and your project.

The age of the participants, the group size, the date and your teaching objective: that's all we need to propose the right workshop.
